Back to Web Development FAQ Main Page.

To send information a user has given in a formular to different URLs, you have to use javascript. The following example shows how tho submit a form named "testform" to the page "results.php" or to the page "results2.php":

HTML:
	<form name="testform" action="" method="post">
		<input type=text name="textfield">
		<input type=button onClick="send(1);">
		<input type=button onClick="send(2);">
	</form>
JAVASCRIPT:
	<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
		<!--
			var ways = new Array();
			ways[1] = "results.php";
			ways[2] = "results2.php";
			function send( way ) {
				document.forms['testform'].action=ways[way];
				document.forms['testform'].submit();
			}
		-->
	</SCRIPT>

This is a helpful script if you have formulars that can not be filled out with one step - so the user has to send information befor he can fill out some fields of the formular.
